Starship Asterisk*

OK, let me throw this out there and see who swings at it. Could the perceived expansion force of the universe be a variation in the rate of time? So the expansion of the universe is not really accelerating but is actually slowing, but because "Earth Time" is slowing at a faster rate it’s m...

The answer is:

B

The matter invented by scienetist to make the math work.

Seeing how this subject was brought up: well, in its basics, antigravity is that thing phisicians invented, to rely upon every time they have nothing else to rely upon. for one example, Einstein once brought antigravity in, when gravity itself seemed to be not enough to explain universe expansion; i...

I do understand the workings of stars and galaxies, better than most, that's why I can (politely) say your theory has too many holes in it and you need to factor in more of the observational data.

I should have stated my point more clearly, and I think I did in that older thread. It is both the weaker gravity and the loss of most of its magnetic field. I think I also mentioned something about calculating escape velocities of the lighter elements in Mars’ upper atmosphere temperatures and pres...

I admit that there are many problems with the big bag theory and I'm not defending it, it’s more that I don't agree with your alternative theory, it creates more problems than it solves. The concept of everything spontaneously starting from nothing in a single bang isn't scientific by definition. No...

What kind of thing would cause such a loss of magnetic field? The cooling of the Fe core, because Mars has only .38 times the mass of the Earth, it's core has cooled where can no longer supply enough protection from the solar winds. The Magnetic field of the Earth has been dropping about .5 % every...

The most likely scenario why Mars lost most of its atmosphere and H2O was due to the loss of most of its magnetic field. As the magnetic field weakened the solar winds stripped more and more of the atmosphere away, the H2O boiled into vapor and was also stripped away with the other gasses.

These types of discussions, fact or opinion, are the best way to self clarify one's line of reasoning. Right of wrong, we all learn something, Thomas Edison learned 10,000 ways NOT to build a light bulb which is equally useful information. Keep it up everyone!

I'm trying to understand your statement :"There are many other protons that are not in stars and are decaying, that is the signature that is missing". Only about 1% of the mass in the universe is illuminated the other 99% cannot be seen in visible light. In some of the coldest, darkest sp...

Amen

Another thread at Bad Science dot com, it's a fun read

The definition of a moon is still up for debate both for large and small. Maybe we could call it an astermoon?

If that were true, Mars's orbit would be much more eccentric and the change would show up in/from star charts of ole.

I would go with the sand blasting and dust theory.

That's our good friend "Relativity" Time cannot stop completely, (that problem of dividing by zero again) But let's say that you were right outside an EH and time moved relativity much slower. As the rest of the light from the universe approached you, it would slow down also. In the end, t...

There are many other protons that are not in stars and are decaying, that is the signature that is missing.

There is dialog ongoing about most stars having an Fe shell over the core, there are traces of Fe that raises questions - the evidence hasn't grabbed me but it also hasn't been ruled out.

To be where it is located, something big must have happened to it. For it to be all low speed impacts it would need to be in a very stable orbit along with other objects within that same stable orbit, it doesn't add up.

The mass is converted energy, you know E=MC^2!

Harry, Your history of the universe has a few holes in it, here a few points for starters. The half live of all protons is 10^38 years, the energy released by a decaying proton has a signature that would have to be much more uniform though out the universe if matter and energy were simply recycled. ...

Even one small high-speed impact could have shook the structure enough to sent debris meters above the surface and slowly settling back to the surface, it erased most of the crater features. A slow collision of the two major spheres may have caused it also.

To the right the terrain features perhaps show a large uphill flow causing some impressive errosion

It looks like a standard mud crater rim that has slowly melted and eroded down hill to me. What do you see that I'm missing?

The "Twins Paradox" is also time travel on a grander scale - still one way.

158,000 mph, I sure would not want to pay that ticket. That is also 70,000 m/sec or 0.0000000043% the speed of light Have you ever wanted to calculate the speed of light yourself? Try this, all you need is a microwave oven and a chocolate bar - it works! "Well - Kinda" http://physics.about...
